As Stock as they Come

Hi All !!I'm only a very recent member and am very glad to be a part of BigJimny. Thanks to everyone who's suggesting things and helped with enquiries!

I'm 17 and I've gots me a Jimny. Obviously passing my test takes priority over modification... but i've got a whole list of things in mind, which will hopefully take place as soon as Mother sets me free with it !
For the time being, this is what i got so far.
Admittedly, nothing special... but i would greatly appreciate the suggestions of any minor mods that i could do.








Black sunvisor strips over the lights for an eyelid effect. Cheap and.. tasteful?

nowt better to start with mate

hey just enjoy having the wee motor theres plenty of time to add to it

My mate just sold his road legal quad and bought a standard Jimny. He went out and bought a set of Insa Turbo Special Track mud tyres,standard size. It's a capable truck just with the tyre change.

Yeh, get through ya test as thats most important but as said a set of tyres seems to make a load of difference off the road.

Okay. Yeah! So im gunna buy a can of Hammerite Smooth spray (black).
Glossy right ?

also.. what would i do to prepare the steel for painting ? :huh:
Thanks again !!

sand them a little all over to etch the surface so the paint can get a hold and it wont peel off in a week then and you can get a good finish if you lightly sand each coate then laquer.

I would use a coat of acid etch primer as well U-Pol #8 Acid Etch

Im pretty sure hammerite spray cant be laquered Or sanded, just check!

Comes out well anyway so you mite not want to, sure i can remember people trying to sand and laquer hammerite and it went all wrong!
